If you're an avid chess player (why else would you read this group for 3 years ?!) don't go for checkers, othello etc, since the chances that you won't stay loyal to it are high. If you want to start with chess, a shameless plug on my behalf is to offer you to take a look at my Jamca project - free documentation and GPL code for a chess playing program - developed and released on-the-fly (still very incomplete): www.geocities.com/spur4444/prog/jamca/jamca.html Eli
